got a call from these guys telling me they had a ballot filled out my me from Dec 2009. I was apparently the winnner of one of 5 grand prizes including a Toshiba 42" flat screen, alaskan cruise and $1500 cash. All I had to do was show up with my husband for a 60-90 minute 'prize giveaway ceremony'. even asked me if my car was big enough in case I chose the furniture!! Then quickly said, oh. no, its OK the company will pay for delivery.They asked me to choose a time and gave me a confirmation number. Then my husband came home and laughed in my face whe I told him about it. We went online and could find nothing, not one thing on the name 'ontario source international'. Googling the address brought me to this page.Needless to say, we won't be going to the appointment.

I have been receiving calls on this SCAM for 2 years now. I even know which store in Bramelea City Center sold my name & phone number (the store has since closed). I receive a call about once per month. They have gone through 3 company names and various phone numbers BUT the call is always the same. They have your name, address & phone number. They insist that you have filled in a ballot at (name any major store - it keeps changing, today they asked if I remembered shopping at a grocery store in December 2009!!) They mention 5 prizes and the need to show up in person to "claim" them. You then have to wait for a supervisor to give you a reference/claim number and the exact time & date to show up at Drew Rd (used to be a Woodbridge address). Someone did go to the Woodbridge locations and reported back that he & his wife spent 3 hours, listening to a timeshare presentation and being heavily pressured to buy one immediately.
For today's call, I allowed him to give his spiel and then informed him that as of next week I will have a new address & phone number and did he want it? I gave him the address & phone number for Peel Regional Police. Wonder if they'll catch on???

I got the number 1-(905) 241-1022. I went along with him to get all company info and address so I can report them to Canada's National Do Not Call List. Whatever that is? I registered back when it started and go to website to make sure it hasn't expired on me and nope it hasn't expired. I don't blame these telemarketers they just trying to make a living just like everyone else. I blame these BS Do not call list the Canadian government programs. It's probably just a list that goes no where so they can scam more tax payer money. You know create a diversion so we don't see where the money goes, we just think ah money is going to this list. What list? Look CRTC is involved, government is involved, all i see going on is thick envelopes being passed around. Well my point is I've been on this BS list since it started in 2008, and i still get calls from these telemarketers. SO what is really going on?

I received the first call from this company 2 weeks ago. As I did not recall filling out any ballot, I took the information from the first guy (did not remember his name) so that I could check with my husband, who might have been the one to fill it out. The first guy said he would transfer me to his supervisor to give me the prize # (why couldn't he do it?). The supervisor came on the line and he wasn't willing to give me my prize number right away (he could sense the lack of enthusiasm or suspicion in my voice), then I knew there was something not right about this company.One week later, they called again to ask why I had not come to claim my prize and I stated clearly we were not interested and to not call back again. less than 5 mins later, a supervisor called me for the same reason. When I told him that I had spoken to someone just a few minutes ago, asking not to be called back, he said, I'm only just hearing this information - ya right, the first guy told you and you called back trying to persuade me. Now today, they called again! I am not one to be rude and hang up, but he would not listen to me and tried to keep talking over me. I replied 'I've asked not to be called back, you are not respecting my wishes, therefore I will be reporting you." Unfortunately, I do not have names as anyone I've spoken to has heavy accents but the name James does sound familar. What make me mad is that they had our correct tele#, name and address! Where do they get this information? Somewhere along the line, our personal imformation has been sold - and in the days when identity theft is on the rise, this is scary.No

I had a Phone call from (416) 241-1034 same scheme as all of the other posts on this board, after awhile I asked the guy if he had ever seen the movie Pulp Fiction and then he got a bit worried, told me the conversation was being recorded! W**ker!
